How long you staying?

Going to Bude and taking our dog, last time we went in 2020 it pissed it down for the full week. It was the first day the first lockdown lifted in July.

I’ve done the touring and went to a few bars.

Nearly had to take my eyes out some of the scenes in the bars. There is zero shame.

I shook someone’s hand in a club in Berlin once and realised I had been given a free… sweetie shall we say. Needless to say I didn’t try it.

Do tell! I need to know what I must… avoid.

Stay clear of the very clear walkways to downstairs rooms :grimacing:

Can’t remember which bars (was 7 year ago).

Very clear as in empty?

If there is a password to the room, you know what to do.

By memory, there’s the bar, drinking areas, and then some stairs just leading down. Not sure there were any signs to warn you of anything.

Zsa zsa burger is good (slightly off the topic of meat being butchered).

Are you sure that was just a bar and not a “bar”? There are bars with “play areas” everywhere but usually they’re not your everyday bar.

Thanks for the burger tip though! I was looking at Burgermeister before but will add Zsa Zsa to the list too.

I just got happily drunk and wandered our way around a few places. Bars and “bars” make no difference to me if they’re all music and men :dancer:t3:

Oslo - anyone got any holiday suggestions that aren’t a million pounds a night? :eyes: Ideally that you’ve stayed in, and are pretty central.

@coffeemadman think you said you’ve been before? :eyes:

Stockholm booked for March :sweden:

Gone for the “Nordic Light Hotel” which seems very central and well reviewed.

Any eating out recommendations from those that have been?

When we went Norway Summer 2023, we stayed here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LDrjScf6bEscposf9

Not the most central place, but it was just a 15 minute train + 7 minutes bus from the centre of Oslo. You might be looking for something more tho :man_shrugging:
